Therapists in K1R

Please Reach Out by EMAIL! (Phone may not be monitored all the time) As humankind, I truly believe that we all have something in common: The need and desire for Connection. It is my core belief that this beautiful common attribute that we all possess enables me to better accompany you in the healing journey. In therapy, I will be creating a secure, warm, trusting, and non-judgmental space where you can express your true self in ways you feel comfortable and restore the capacity to connect with self and others.

I know the process of finding the right therapist can be daunting, and I want to thank you for taking the time to consider me! I take great effort to ensure I am a flexible and adaptive clinician that will work hard to meet the needs of any person I see. Some areas in which I feel I can provide a specialized level of care include: Working with adolescents and young adults, the LGBTQ2S+ community and their allies, issues of substance use, anxiety, depression, ADHD, self-image, communication, anger, relationships and identity.

Thank you for considering me in your search for a therapist. I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) who offers services to individuals (13+) with a particular focus on anxiety, depression, body image, burnout & stress management, perfectionism, relational issues, and trauma.

Hello, feel free to browse below and contact me with questions (email only). I am a Ph.D. Registered Psychotherapist practicing at, and directing, a quaint Psychotherapy Center in Ottawa’s downtown core. I see myself make the most meaningful contributions in Crisis & Trauma, work that first called me to the profession over a decade ago, and with advancing Self-Growth & Self-Development through emotional, relational, professional, somatic, spiritual, or sexual focus. I use proven techniques to manage difficulties in the now, while promoting growth overall. I also research, teach & train so that I, too, can continue to grow.

I have always been interested in psychology and western culture, which led me to immigrate to Canada to complete my graduate studies in Counselling and Psychotherapy. My desire to connect with and help people makes being a therapist both professionally and spiritually fulfilling. As a therapist I provide a non-judgmental, empathetic space for my clients to explore, learn and grow into mental wellness and best self. Furthermore, as a professional who has been educated in both non-western and western environments, I am positioned to assist my clients to mediate between their needs and the resources available.

"Awareness is like the sun, it transforms everything that it touches." Have you ever found yourself in what seems to be an unsolvable situation? Living a life with no meaning? Struggling with painful long-lasting emotions and behaviours that seem to not make sense? Did you ever come to the conclusion that “just disappearing” would be the only way out? So have I, and so have many people that I helped during my 8 years of clinical practice. You are not alone.

Becoming a therapist has been an intentional journey that is the direct result of a desire to collaboratively facilitate healing in myself and others. It is difficult to be in the world right now and the impending fear and anxiety around us can contribute to feelings of overwhelm and a sense of disconnect from ourselves and others. This might have us feeling hopeless, isolated or 'stuck'. Our work together will foster the resilience and self-compassion needed to weather these storms and to recognize and celebrate the wisdom found in the struggle.

Do you ever wonder why you are so anxious? Are you struggling to identify the source of your depression? Do you ever look for answers about the purpose of the situation you are going through in your life? Are you sometimes discouraged, disengaged, demotivated to get back on your feet because you feel you have tried everything?

*CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS* Navigating mental health struggles in young adulthood can feel overwhelming and isolating. As a queer individual, my lived experiences have led me to develop a warm, compassionate, and understanding perspective. As a counsellor, this enables me to hold a non-judgmental and thoughtful space for the people I work with and can help them feel seen, heard, and not alone.

I’m a counsellor and psychotherapist as well as a registered social worker. However, I might better be described as warm, accepting and open. Hopeful. A believer in the capacity of our minds and bodies to heal. Passionate about discovering our truest self and the strengths we each possess. I am not the ‘expert’, rather you are the expert of your life. I am simply a guide for a time, as you explore what has brought you to this point and how you want to move forward. As we are all unique, I draw on a variety of methods and techniques to suit you and your goals. Ultimately therapy should be what you want it to be.

Carolann has led an interesting and challenging life. She has learned to read between the crooked lines of her life and become more aware of her gifts and strengths of humour, enthusiasm, spontaneity and genuine interest in people.

Tired of being pathologized and feeling isolated? You are not alone. While each person possesses unique resources and skills, trauma responses (fight, flight, freeze, fawn) can throw one off balance from their consistent, preferred way of living.

Hello! My name is Rob. My goal is to support you on your journey of living the life you want to live and becoming the person you want to become. As a therapist I value authenticity, connection, and compassion, so it's important to me that we create a space where you feel that you can completely be yourself, without judgment, as we work together to identify, clarify, and ultimately achieve your goals. Clients I see tend to experience difficulties related to mood and anxiety, or are seeking coping skills to navigate stress and the complexities of life.
